css in menu item to show category specific notification

Hi,

The css class for the dot/menu is ‘wnbell-count-menu’ (I’m unsure I understand how you’d use it though).

You can maybe use the ‘wnbell_count_notifications’ filter hook (for logged in users) or the ‘wnbell_conditions_visitor_count’ filter hook (for guests) to change the sql query in your functions.php file to add conditions based on the category.

thanks for the response,
but need your help in this

suppose i have the following menu items in my menu :
1. latest
2. events ( slug-events, category id-263 )
3. classifieds ( slug0-classifeds, category id-235)

now i have added the [wnbell-menu-item] in css on menu item named “latest”

so any new posts belonging to any category shows up on ” latest” menu item

what i need is , if there is a new post in to the “event” category, i want a notification icon to display in the “event” menu item

and if there is a new post in to the classifieds category, i want the notification icon in the “classified” menu item

is there a modied css that i can place in the respective menu item or an overall script that can do this to be place in funcitons.php

can you please give an example of code for atleast one category so i can apply to the rest

i am using the premium version of the plug in

your help will be of very much value.

Hi,

I had misunderstood what you meant before. Unfortunately, there’s no way I can think of to make this happen. All dots if they’re on the same page will always show the same number of notifications as it’s only just one sql query. The filter ‘wnbell_count_notifications’ I mentioned before would only work if there are bells on different pages (I thought earlier each menu item is in a menu in a different page).
Also, the bell on the page receives only the count number from the server (1 or 0), with no additonal information of what type of posts it’s about, so css classes would not help much.
